ISO: ISO: Japanese custard.... looks like flan?

[cheezz]

DH had this before in Japanese restaurants - he said it's like an egg custard - looks like flan - and there is something drizzled on top. Anyone know what it's called?

 

[cheezz]

to answer myself... I think it's called Purin... anyone have a T&T recipe?!

Chawan Mushi? Is is a sweet custard or savory?(nt)

 

[shaun-in-to]

Chawan-mushi is savory -- the Japanese cookbook I have

has shrimp, chicken thighs and shiitakes in the recipe, and dashi, mirin and soy in the custard base.

Meryl - here is the link to it. CI always puts in LOTS of directions, but they aren't hard to make.
